ellyana_gh 's review for:
This is easily one of the most profound and compelling pieces of Christian literature I've ever read.
McCaulley's arguments are exceptionally clear and persuasive, and the deft interweaving of his and others' lived experiences affirms the necessity of Black ecclesial tradition for the marginalized and oppressed. While he does a brilliant job of refuting interpretations of biblical texts that have historically been used to disenfranchise African Americans, his work especially shines in presenting a message of hope and love for all despite the ongoing racial oppression many experience. Feelings of discomfort and indignation are to be expected in the face of grave injustice, and McCaulley acknowledges these difficult emotions while counseling readers on how they can turn to the Bible as a source of hope despite the pain.
I look forward to reading more of his work!
